How would you re-do MLB’s “rivalries?”

It’s Rivalry Weekend or whatever — 15 matchups that I guess link two teams that are supposed to be rivals together. Sometimes, this is inherently fun, like when the teams in question are basically co-located and it’s a battle-for-the-jurisdiction of sorts (Mets-Yankees, Cubs-White Sox, and I guess even Angels-Dodgers, sorta). Sometimes, it’s a bit weirder, […]

Splitting town: Giants slink out of LA with bats between legs

Sometimes a split is healthy. Bad relationships, a thriving stock purchase, ordering a banana-based dessert at an ice cream parlor, your sides at a comedy club. Some splits are bad: Bowling, personalities, the ends of hair, infinitives. The San Francisco Giants going 2-2 on the road against the Los Angeles Dodgers falls right in the […]

Dodgers rally to back Emmet Sheehan, beat Giants

The Dodgers scored three runs in the sixth inning to back a strong start by Emmet Sheehan to beat the San Francisco Giants 5-2 on Thursday night at Dodger Stadium and salvage a series split after dropping the first two games. Teoscar Hernández figured prominently on both sides of the ball in and around left […]

5/14 Gamethread: Giants @ Dodgers

The San Francisco Giants wrap up this four-game road series against the Los Angeles Dodgers tonight. Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-hander Landen Roupp, who enters tonight’s game with a 3.09 ERA, 2.51 FIP, with 51 strikeouts to 19 walks in 43.2 innings pitched.

Dodgers on Deck: Friday, May 15 at Angels

Had things gone according to plan, Friday would be Blake Snell’s 2026 debut with the Dodgers, who open a series against the Angels on Friday night at Angel Stadium in Anaheim. But instead this will be Snell’s second start of the season. After back spasms sidelined Tyler Glasnow a week ago, the Dodgers approached Snell […]

Rest day for Shohei Ohtani in Dodgers finale vs. Giants

For the first time of 2026, the Dodgers on Thursday won’t have Shohei Ohtani starting for them in any capacity, a planned rest day during the final game against the San Francisco Giants at Dodger Stadium. The decision to have Ohtani not hit on either Wednesday or Thursday came before Tuesday’s game, when Ohtani hit […]

Dodgers minors: Isaac Ayon’s 10 K’s not enough for Ontario

Two outstanding starts and two blowups. There was no middle ground for starters in the Dodgers minor league system, with only the Loons earning a win. Player of the day Sometimes your best isn’t enough, and that was the case for Isaac Ayon, who could only cover five scoreless innings in the matchup between the […]

Dodgers notes: Andrew Friedman worries, Jason Heyward joins front office

The Dodgers offense, something still to be talked about in negative tones. After the second consecutive World Series win, president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman told his wife that could alleviate some stress in April and May. His wife didn’t believe him, and his theory has not panned out so far this spring. “I should’ve […]

Giants return to their old ways

The Giants beat the Dodgers 29-2 on Wednesday, with their two best players combining to hit 8-8 with a home run, four doubles, four walks, and a stolen base. Unfortunately, that was in the Arizona Complex League. In the slightly more competitive, and slightly more meaningful Major League Baseball game, the Giants lost to the […]

Shohei Ohtani’s gem helps Dodgers snap four-game losing skid

The Dodgers are back in the win column as they snapped their four-game losing streak behind another dominant performance from Shohei Ohtani on the mound. The Dodgers broke through early and kept their foot on the gas as they shut out the San Francisco Giants for the second time this year, winning on Wednesday by […]

Dodgers on Deck: Thursday, May 14 vs. Giants

LOS ANGELES — For the first time in 2026, Shohei Ohtani will not start at either designated hitter or pitcher for the Dodgers in their series finale against the San Francisco Giants on Thursday night at Dodger Stadium. Ohtani has slumped for several weeks, which coupled with the need to manage his two-way workload as […]

5/13 Gamethread: Giants @ Dodgers

The San Francisco Giants continue this four-game road series against the Los Angeles Dodgers tonight. Taking the mound for the Giants will be left-hander Robbie Ray, who enters tonight’s game with a 2.76 ERA, 4.52 FIP, with 47 strikeouts to 18 walks in 45.2 innings pitched.

Looking for a Ray of hope, Dodgers offense faces star lefty

For mere mortals, an off-day means an off-day, but for Shohei Ohtani, the definition of it is a bit different. For the fourth time this season, the Dodgers will take the field without Ohtani as their designated hitter. If the recent track record serves as an indicator, it’s one of those bad with him and […]

Dodgers minors: Chris Newell can’t avoid Drillers’ loss

Three one-run losses and a blowout win for the Ontario Tower Buzzers—that’s how the day went in the Dodgers’ minor league system. Player of the day While the first-place Drillers might not have gotten the result they wanted in a loss against the Cardinals, it most certainly didn’t come due to a lack of trying […]

Dodgers notes: Shohei Ohtani, Roki Sasaki, Charlie Culberson

The Dodgers are now losers of four straight (again) after falling to the San Francisco Giants 6-2 on Tuesday, but Shohei Ohtani was able to bust out of his slump and was the only redeeming factor for the Dodgers. Ohtani went 2-4 with a single, a home run and a walk, recording his first home […]

Haase Party Two: Giants catcher homers twice to beat Dodgers

Eric Haase is no kid, but he can definitely play. In his sixth game with the San Francisco Giants, the veteran catcher hit two home runs off Yoshinobu Yamamato (3-3), the second happening one pitch after Harrison Bader took Yamamoto deep in the 5th inning. That put the Giants up 3-2 and they went on […]

Dodgers suffer another bad loss to Giants

LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers are piling up bad losses, and this time the slumping offense had company.

The Dodgers have lost four consecutive games, all […]
